Gyro Error Correction / Object Moon

Gyro Error Correction / Object Moon

<p> GYRO ERROR CORRECTION / OBJECT MOON</p><p>UTC 23h 59m 30s Date 07/10/2008 PSN LAT 30° 18,4’ N LON 014° 19,1’ W GB 238°</p><p>1. Install the bearing finder on the repeater. 2. Take sun bearing. We got the Gyro Bearing (GB). 3. In fast, write down the UTC (h:m:s) & co-ordinates from GPS. 4. From the NAUTICAL ALMANAC (“YEAR”) for the voyage date (written in the up of left and right pages (p. 10-253)) find column “MOON” on the right page in the page base. By the argument “HOUR” & “DATE” (for example: 18h of 20/12/2007) take Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA), Declination (Dec), υ & d, which are placed in the page bottom. For Example: GHA : 68° 26,3’ Dec : 23° 46,6’ S d : 7,3’ 5. From the table “Increments and corrections” of the same manual (p. ii-xxxi -yellow pages) in the upper part, find the minutes (in our case 59m) & in the same column find seconds (in our case – 30s). On the cross of these values in column SUN/PLANETS Take value INcr (in our case INcr = 14° 11,8’). This value always should be added to GHA:</p><p>(GHA + Incr) = GHAcor = 68° 26,3’ + 14° 11,8’ = 82° 38,1’</p><p>6. Then to the GHAcor add or delete a longitude. If longitude value is “W”, then “ — ”, else if value is “E”, then “ + ”. We got the Local Hour Angle (LHA).</p><p>GHAcor + (+/- LON) = 82° 38,1’ — 14° 19,1’ = 68° 19,0’ 7. In the book “SIGHT REDUCTION TABLES” (for our example VOL.2 0-40°) find the latitude (e.g. LAT = 30°). Search the Z (Azimuth) on crossing of LHA & LAT on the Declination table (SAME or CONTRARY name to LAT). Correcting by interpolation the Z.</p><p>If LHA < 180° then: 360 – Zcor.</p><p>If LHA > 180° then: Z = Zcor</p><p>The difference between Z and GB (GB – Z) will be gyro error.</p>
